" If you love authentic Mexican food, Zocalo is a must-visit! I brought my family here, and everyone loved their meals. The mole enchiladas were especially a hit at our table, bursting with flavor. I was also impressed by the variety of drinks on the menu, including some fabulous cocktails. The only downside was that we had a little wait time, but it's understandable on a busy evening. A great place overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Zocalo based on the reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was quite mixed. While the atmosphere was lovely and the homemade salsa was divine, my main course—a veggie burrito—was bland and lacked seasoning. I expected more punch from what was supposed to be Mexican cuisine. Service was quick, but my waitstaff seemed detached. I might give it another shot based on the positive experiences of others. " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting several Mexican restaurants in Wilmington, Zocalo stands out for the quality of its food. I particularly enjoyed their birria tacos, which were generously filled with tender meat and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. Service was friendly, but I noticed we had to wait a bit longer for our food than expected—about 30 minutes. Still, the flavors made it worth the wait! I look forward to coming back soon to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" There's a lot of competition for Mexican restaurants in Wilmington, but Zocalo stands out. The food is fresh, especially the daily specials that showcase local ingredients. From the moment we walked in, we were treated well. The music added a nice touch to our meal, making it feel festive. I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were packed with flavor! I'm excited to come back to see what else they have on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a discovery! I was fortunate enough to find Zocalo on a trip to Wilmington. The restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere and a lovely outdoor seating area. The food was phenomenal! I ordered the enchiladas with mole; they were flavorful and well-seasoned, a true taste of Mexico. The server was attentive and friendly, which really enhanced our experience. I will definitely return here on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-try Mexican restaurant in Wilmington! Their specials are always interesting, and everything is very fresh. The drinks also add to the experience—my margarita was perfect! I recommend making a reservation if you plan to go on a weekend, as it can get crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Had the shrimp fajita—delicious! The salsa was fresh and full of flavor, making the chips even better. However, the server occasionally forgot about our needs. I understand it can be busy, but I felt it could have been more attentive overall. " (*Curated Review*)
